bottle at neils.. amber... thin white.. soft funk earth fruits nose.. very earth.. little wierd... not me

Bottle from Westhill Service Station. Opens with a slow gush... It pours hazy orange with a few floaters and a fizzy white head. The aroma is earthy, funky, sweet - sour, cherry pulp, woody, earthy, damp leaves, touch of cherry jam and leather. The taste is initially drying and earthy, funky, musty, leather, light tannin, mouldy basement, tart and puckering, sour cherry and some lemon rind with a dry, funky finish. Medium body and moderate+ foamy / fizzy carbonation..more funk and damp wood than I was expecting, but it works fine.
